This sounds like it could be an incredible discovery for people with autoimmune conditions like lupus.

“Criminalizing sexual activity for individuals with HIV can make people less likely to be tested and continue to enforce the harmful stigma around the diagnosis.”

Yes, there are people who’s lives are utterly destroyed by the pain of postherpetic neuralgia, or are in constant, unrelenting herpes breakouts. People are permanently disabled from it, and it affects the CNV, including the brain.

The vending machine condoms in bathrooms are great too. Usually a quarter. Do they still have those?

YES! You get your teeth checked twice a year! You need to do this regularly between partners, or every six months, min. There is free testing! Why aren’t people doing this?

MRA’s frequently cite the same studies showing “that children are more emotionally and mentally stable when raised by a mother and father in the same home.” It is a case of people who have planned to have a child together, who by the numbers, happen to be hetero, married couples, being generally more responsible…

It would be an appropriate question to ask if they first discussed with you your decision to have or not have children..it’s the assuming that’s bothersome. I used to get asked when I was going to have baby with my alcoholic ex husband all the time and it was bothersome for the same reason, I think.

It’s unlikely that anyone will freeze your eggs at 35. Pregnancy after 35 is biologically late and called “geriatric” (seriously). I went to Weil Cornell two years ago with the same idea. Realizing that I was on the precipice of infertility due to my age, I ended up pursuing ivf as a single mother, by choice. I have…

“Sy Sperling”= best name for sales person, EVER.

I always felt more like my dog’s sister. She definitely has never seen me as an authority figure.

Oh, you can’t win. I was dating in my early thirties after divorcing. I’m thin, “conventionally attractive” in a blond, midwestern way, average height, “minimal sexual history” (due to being married for 10 years) and had the exact same problems. It’s not you, it’s them. Really, it is.

The most annoying element of linked in is that it is supposed to be a database of people you can professionally connect with, yet it is like impossible to find their contact information via the site, so you have to msg them on the stupid system which inevitably goes to spam, because, you know, “linkedin.” So I end up…

I have an situation in my own life which is a bit analogous. Since I was 13 or so, I have struggled with severe cystic acne. Just like most obese/overweight people, I have tried all the methods and “fixes” available to me to address it, even TWO courses of accutane which have caused severe, permanent health issues for…

I gave birth about 7 months ago (sparing you the week count thing) and my experience is that my actual vaginal canal is is exactly the same. It’s not “loose.” That said, I tore quite badly, and was stitched, so the opening is bigger. Prior to childbirth, PIV sex was sometimes painful, but I find it more pleasurable…

I was 22 at the time and was like, “Who gives a fuck who is doing what in the conference room? Why are you bothering me with this? What is the matter with you?” The moms I worked with seemed stressed out as fuck so I was happy to do whatever and get back to my actual work. It wasn’t for many years that I would realize…

Same with me! But it sucks to not have the convenience of pumping.

You’re really lucky. :-( I make an ounce per side, per pump, if that.

I worked for a large (LARGE!) financial group in the early 2000s and the men were up in arms over the idea of women using a small, unused conference room at the end of the hall for pumping. Seriously. This became a “thing” and they actually solicited me to pick a side.

Tea tree oil works! You need to cut it with olive oil, soak the hair/scalp, put a shower cap on, then comb the dead critters out in the am. Are you dry heaving? Because I am after just typing that!

Next they’ll be telling us that women in porn are faking orgasms.
